After the rain, the sky cleared up, the sun rose, and it started to get hot again.

Ye Yanke squatted at the doorstep with a bowl of rice in his hand, eating it in big mouthfuls.

What he ate was the bowl of burnt rice that He Agui had eaten, and the dish was half a piece of blackened dried salted fish.

After eating the pancake with meat and egg, the old man was basically full, so he saved the burnt rice, originally intending to have it as dinner.

He brought Ye Yanke home and heard that he had not had lunch yet, so he gave him the burnt rice.

I didn’t get the reward, but at least I got food.

Only when you have a full stomach can you have the strength to slay the monster.

It seemed that Ye Yanke was really hungry. He was not picky about food and ate salted fish and burnt rice with great relish.

His straw sandals were rotten, so he took them off and walked barefoot. He looked like a country bumpkin, not at all like a chivalrous man.

Except for the heavy sword.

Ye Yanke cherishes and values this sword very much. He never leaves it and never lets anyone else touch it.

Chen Jin sat on the shaft of the cart and looked at him with interest.

Feeling the observation, Ye Yanke looked up and asked vaguely: "Scholar, where are you from? Where are you going?"

"I'm from Genshui County, and I'm going to the prefecture to take the exam."

"Where is Genshui County?"

"A small county town under the jurisdiction of Yunling Prefecture."

"Oh, I know Yunling Mansion."

Ye Yanke continued to eat and finished. Suddenly he saw a grain of rice on the edge of the bowl, so he quickly licked it clean, then stood up contentedly and took the bowl to wash it.

Then he spoke to Chen Jin again: "You are a scholar, but you went to the prefecture alone to take the exam. Didn't you bring a servant with you?"

Chen Jin said: "I am not a disciple of a big family, where do I get the servants and followers?"

Ye Yanke took a look and said, "Don't try to fool me. You can afford a carriage, and this is a good horse."

In the Qian Dynasty, a family that could own a carriage, even if they were not from a wealthy family, was at least quite well-off and could afford it.

Chen Jin said: "The carriage is not mine, but the county government lent it to me. I have to return it after use."

"Oh I got it."

Ye Yanke understood.

No wonder Chen Jin was dressed simply. Not to mention having servants, he didn't even have a coachman and had to drive the carriage himself.

Maybe the sword he carried was borrowed from someone else for self-defense.

Since they all came from poor backgrounds, they felt that they were closer. He also sat on the shaft, touched the shaft with his hand, and praised: "This cart is really good."

After touching the carriage, he went to touch the horse, from the head to the buttocks, and couldn't let go.

Obviously more horse lover.

He said, "One day, when I have saved enough money, I will buy a good horse and travel the world."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "I think you should buy a pair of good shoes first. If you don't even have shoes to wear, even if you accept a bounty mission, people won't pay you a high price."

Ye Yanke blinked his eyes: "That makes sense."

The two of them started talking like this, and before long, Chen Jin learned about the other person's background:

Ye Yanke was born an orphan. When he was young, he was adopted by an old swordsman and taught swordsmanship. At the beginning of this year, the old swordsman died of illness.

After burying his mentor, Ye Yanke started to make his way in the world.

However, the world of martial arts was not as beautiful as he had imagined. He was a man of morality and rules, so he did not live up to his expectations, and could even be said to be down and out. He only had the heavy sword passed down to him by his master, which he used as a facade to make a living.

He Agui came out and couldn't help but said to Chen Jin: "Master, you really don't want to leave?"

Chen Jin nodded: "I want to see how this chivalrous knight slays the demon."

Hearing this, He Agui sighed and said no more. He moved a small stool to the yard, sat down in the sun, and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation and comfort.

Ye Yanke looked at Chen Jin and said, "Scholar, I will stay here to slay the demon, but I may not be completely sure. If something happens, I won't be able to take care of you. You'd better stay away and don't get close."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I have also learned sword skills. Maybe I can help you."

He patted the Caomang sword, making a sound.

Ye Yanke didn't really believe it. In his impression, scholars were used to talking big and talking about war on paper. When they really encountered danger, they would be scared to death. Especially for a pale-faced scholar like Chen Jin, even if he had learned swordsmanship, most of them were fancy moves.

Time passed quietly and it was almost evening.

He Agui started to prepare dinner. There were two more people in the family, and they both ate a lot, so he had to cook more rice.

At this time, Chen Jin took down half a bag of rice from the carriage, as well as other ingredients and various seasonings.

"Father, I'll make dinner for you. You can just take a rest on the side."

He Agui was startled: "How can this be so embarrassing?"

Chen Jin said, "I need to eat too, so I can borrow your pot and firewood."

As he was speaking, there was a sudden noise outside.

Soon, someone walked into the yard.

Two people.

Two young women.

The one on the left is tall and has a cold face; the one on the right is a little shorter and plump, and when he walks, his waist and hips twist back and forth, which looks a bit artificial.

Both women were wearing gorgeous clothes, with their waists cinched and their chests puffed out, looking proud. When they saw the dirt and mess around the house, they frowned and could not hide their disgust.

What attracts the most attention is their eyebrows, which are painted red and look extremely beautiful.

Behind the two women followed a few old men, who were timid and didn't dare to get too close, but seemed curious.

He Agui was also surprised. He didn't know what was going on. He felt nervous and restrained. For a moment, he was speechless.

The plump woman put her hands on her hips and said in a domineering tone, "Are you the head of Datang Village?"

He Agui hurriedly said: "Yes, I have seen... I have seen the fairy."

I was so frightened that I didn't know what to call him, so I could only say something nice.

To them, the two women's attire and appearance were indeed like fairies.

The woman was quite satisfied with this title, her face slightly sullen: "We are disciples of the Red Eyebrow Sect. We heard that there was a snake demon here, so we came here specially to subdue it."

He Agui had heard of the Red Eyebrow Sect and was overjoyed. He immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, two fairies! We villagers will never forget your kindness."

"I will never forget it."

The other old men also knelt down.

The cold-faced woman swept her eyes around, first sweeping over Ye Yanke who was carrying a heavy sword, and finally landing on Chen Jin. She paused for a moment, then said, "We have solved the matter of the snake demon, and the others don't need to meddle in other people's business."

After that, he left with his companions and headed straight for the water.

"Well, now the village is saved."

He Agui cried with joy, tears streaming down his face.

Suddenly having his business taken away from him, Ye Yanke asked indignantly, "Village Chief, is the Red Eyebrow Sect that powerful? They haven't even seen the snake demon yet, and they say they have solved it."

"Ye Xiake, you don't know that within this hundred-mile radius, the Red Eyebrow Sect is this!"

He Agui gave a thumbs up and then started talking nonstop.

……

However, the two female disciples of the Red Eyebrow Sect left the village lightly and came to the shore of the water behind.

As the sun sets, the sky is filled with red clouds, which make the water surface glow red, creating a unique scene.

The cold-looking woman glanced at him and said, "Junior Sister Cai, blow the bone whistle to see if Xiaohong is in the water."

Sister Cai obeyed the order and took out something from her waist. It was a strangely shaped bone whistle. She put it into her mouth, and it immediately made a sharp sound.

After a while, the wind blew gently and the water rippled, but there was no movement.

"Senior Sister Liu, Xiaohong is not here."

Senior Sister Liu frowned and looked around: "Did he run up the mountain? Let's go up and take a look."

"it is good."

The two of them walked hand in hand, the mountain breeze blew their gorgeous clothes, their skirts fluttered in the wind, and they looked like fairies.

After they left, after a while, the river, which had been flowing smoothly, suddenly made a strange "gurgling" sound, as if it was boiling.

The next moment, a black shadow appeared, and its tall body swam in the water, looking extremely ferocious!
