The village is called Chaomen Village, and the uncle's surname is Du. He went to the medicine field to pick herbs and returned home.

The climate here is very suitable for growing medicinal materials, so almost all the villagers make a living by growing medicines.

However, these medicinal materials are only the lowest kind, with little spiritual energy and few old medicines, so they cannot be sold at a high price. They can only be said to be enough to provide food and clothing for everyone.

"All the young people with good spiritual roots have gone out to work hard. We are left here to plant medicine. At least we won't be a drag."

Uncle Du said with a smile.

Ning Zhishui asked about the shortcut through the village and was about to leave, but suddenly a strong wind surged, and then large drops of rain fell.

"It's raining. You should take shelter in the village. The rain here won't stop for a day or two. Is it difficult for you to travel in the rain?" Uncle Du frowned and looked up. Looking forward to it, he advised.

Not bad for a day or two.

Ning Zhishui thought for a while and then agreed, "Is there an empty house in the village? Then I will stay temporarily for a day or two. When the rain stops, I can leave. I can pay for the spar."

The uncle smiled and shook his head, "I have an empty house at home. My little granddaughter has gone to Zhou Mansion. The house has been vacant for a long time. You just have to live in it. What spar are you collecting in this small humble house?"

Ning Zhishui said nothing and walked towards his house with his uncle with a smile.

From a distance, he saw a special house similar to an ancestral hall, located in the middle of the village. Ning Zhishui looked over and found that it was quite new, as if it had just been repaired.

"Uncle, what is that?"

"Oh, um, someone built a new one in the village, so you don't have to worry about it." The uncle said casually.

Ning Zhishui felt that his vague words seemed to be deliberately avoiding the question.

She just looked there one more time and continued to ask questions without being ignorant.

While walking, Ning Zhishui saw the medicinal fields planted by the villagers, "That's Cao Ye Huang, and Bai Zhu Dan, right?"

Uncle Du was a little surprised, "It's just some cheap herbs, but the little girl can still recognize them? She has good eyesight."

The reason why I say I have good eyesight is because the herbs have not grown up yet and are still like seedlings.

Not to mention it is just a seedling, even if it is mature, many monks may not recognize it.

"I just happened to recognize him."

The roads in the village are not easy to walk, but it is not a problem at all for the monks.

"Hey, Uncle Dayong, who is this?"

A young woman also carrying a bamboo basket noticed Ning Zhishui and asked Uncle Du doubtfully.

"I'm just passing by. Isn't it raining? I'm just staying for a day or two."

"I see, what's going on in the village these days? It's quite lively." The woman smiled and greeted Ning Zhishui, "Sister, if you have nothing to do, you can come to my house to play. My house is right there."

She pointed to a house, not far away.

"Thank you, eldest sister. What's your name?" Ning Zhishui asked.

"My name is Wu Mai, you can just call me Sister Mai. There are still children waiting at home, so I will go back first."

"Okay, please walk slowly." Ning Zhishui and others left, and then asked Uncle Du, "Am I the only stranger in the village these days?"

She sensitively got useful clues from Sister Mai's words.

"Yes, there are other guests coming. It's been a while." After Uncle Du finished speaking, he pointed ahead, "That's my home, it's almost here."

Ning Zhishui hummed, wiped a handful of water from her eyes, and quickened her pace.

Uncle Du's wife was cooking at home, and a disabled son was helping.

The young man only had one arm, but even so he was not slow in his work. He kneaded the dough with one hand with great strength. Although he was vigorous, he was not out of breath.

Although he is disabled, he has a fair and upright appearance. When he saw Ning Zhishui, a stranger, coming over, he was stunned for a moment, and then he had a shy expression on his face. He was embarrassed and avoided looking, "Dad, why didn't you come in advance when there were guests?" explain?"

"People were passing by our village and were trapped by the rain. Isn't this a temporary thing?" Uncle Du put down the herbs and spread them out to dry.

"Sorry to bother you, I can leave if it's inconvenient." Ning Zhishui said.

"Where are you talking? You can stay here, as long as you don't dislike the simplicity of our place." The aunt said, and quickly turned over the vegetables in the pot.

Ning Zhishui had not eaten this kind of fireworks-flavored meal for a long time. Although it was not rich, it was simple and attractive.

"It just so happens that I have some animal meat here. Let's add a meal and treat it as my food expenses."

She took out part of the meat she harvested in the Valley of Fire, and it happened to be the meat of a fire marrow beast with good meat quality suitable for ordinary people to eat.

Because it has been kept in the Qiankun bag, it still looks fresh after taking it out.

"This meat is good, it looks tender at first glance." The aunt smiled and thanked Ning Zhishui, and then started cutting and frying the meat.

Ning Zhishui didn't step forward to help. These things were something she wasn't good at, and besides, she wasn't familiar with this place. She might be doing a disservice if she forced herself to help.

So she stood nearby talking to the aunt, helping pass the shovel and the like.

After talking with each other, we found out that the young man’s name was Du Zheng, and he was actually married and had a child. The little granddaughter that Uncle Du mentioned was his daughter!

Du Zheng became disabled after something happened after his marriage. During that time, his mentality collapsed and he was depressed and irritable.

His wife did not dislike him for being disabled, but in the end she couldn't stand the way he always looked at everyone with a cold face and didn't like him. She was fed up with him talking and arguing, so she chose to leave and stay. A young girl.

My daughter was very young at that time, noisy and crying, always calling for her mother, but it was precisely in this way that Du Zheng was forcibly pulled out of that trough. He saw the sunshine again and had vitality.

Although Du Zheng is not too young, he has been staying in Chaomen Village since he was born and has never gone out at all, so he is at a loss when meeting strangers, especially beautiful women.

In fact, there are many people like him in Chaomen Village, because the location here is special, with the Valley of Fire on one side and the Howling Wind Forest on the other, which is not suitable for people with low cultivation levels to walk. It is too dangerous.

Fortunately, his discomfort did not last long. After Ning Zhishui chatted with them for a while, they all became familiar with each other.

"You want to go to the Wind Howling Forest alone. It's a bit dangerous there. Don't you have a companion?" the aunt asked Ning Zhishui.

Ning Zhishui went alone, but she didn't want to be persuaded by others with good intentions because of this answer, so she just said perfunctorily: "No, there is someone waiting for me there."

The aunt felt relieved and she really didn't try to persuade her anymore, "That's good. By the way, wear this when you go. There will be a lot of poisonous insects swarming out of their nests after the rain. Wearing it can prevent them. It's very effective." (End of chapter)
