Slow and immortal

Chapter 232

Chapter 231

Tangchi Town is a small town within the sphere of influence of Xianyumen. It is named after a hot spring source on a nearby mountain.And because Tangchi Town is not big, and the climate and region are not particularly outstanding, there are less than 5 people living in the town, most of whom are local residents who have settled here for generations.The Chu Mansion is located in the northern part of this small town, but Chu Xun is not a native of Tangchi Town.Ten years ago, he brought his five-year-old Ah Yi to this small town alone. He first bought a deserted courtyard, and then bought a shop and opened a small cloth workshop. The town settled down.

The shop under the market is called "Xunbufang". Although the shop inside is relatively small, there is only such a cloth shop in Tangchi Town. Almost all residents buy cloth from "Xunbufang" to make clothes. , It can be said that business is booming.There were also people who were jealous and wanted to open a cloth shop to get a piece of the pie, but in the end, the business ended in a dismal situation.Just because at the same price, the cloth they make is not as good as the cloth of "Xun Bufang" in color and material.So in Tangchi Town, you can see rice shops, grocery stores, and rouge shops with large steps, but there is only one cloth shop.

Perhaps because of the envy of others or other reasons, although the cloth in "Xunbufang" sells well, the people in the entire Chu Mansion are not well received by the residents of Tangchi Town.If Xiao Yao went out with Wu Ma or Yue'er, she would often feel all kinds of strange eyes lingering on her body on the street, and then there would be many whispers mixed with words such as "dirty" and "bad".

So although Xiao Yao doesn't like Tangchi Town very much, she likes Chu Mansion and the other three people in the mansion very much.

However, Chu Xun is an exception.

After getting along with this young master Chu for a long time, she realized that he was completely different from before she hired her. She even wondered if she had a serious hallucination in those few days or this young master was dropped by someone.In her eyes, Chu Xun’s daily life can be said to be extremely boring. He looks like a fool all day long and wanders around the mansion. Most of the time is spent in the study on the south side. I heard from Yue’er that there are a lot of books there. , not inferior to the libraries of some big families.He also seldom went to "Xunbufang" to check on the business, the shop was basically managed by Ha Yi and a shopkeeper hired outside.Only every one or two months, he would take Ah Yi with him in a carriage, and Yue'er would go out for three to five days.

In addition, he also has a very strange hobby. Every day after lunch and dinner, he will stand at the gate, silently watching the flow of people passing by outside, keeping silent, and occasionally the corners of his lips will lightly match his slender body. There is a bit of ink and ink artistic conception.It's just that the residents on the street will feel a little more uncomfortable at this time, and when they see him, they all show expressions of contempt, disgust and slight fear in their eyes.

Whether it is contempt or loathing for Xiao Yao, it is understandable, but where does the fear come from?However, she is a person with a cold personality. Although she is strange, she doesn't like to gossip, so she didn't investigate further.As for the fact that I don't like this young master very much, it's really because the other party likes to tease people, or tease her.

For example, for those large dye vats piled up in the yard, one day this Young Master Chu suddenly asked himself to move these large vats to another corner one by one.In the end, when she was sweating profusely and moved everything according to his request, she saw him looking at her in surprise: "Xiao Yao, why did you move all the big tanks over there?"

She was slightly stunned, "Didn't the young master order it?"

Unexpectedly, he just pretended to nod deeply, and then said as a matter of course, "I'm just talking casually, I don't really want to move there. Xiao Yao had better learn to figure out other people's minds before doing things. Now I think it's still The original location is better, please help me move it back."

She wrinkled her face on the spot, thought hard for a long time and finally patted her butt and left.

It wasn't until dinner time that Young Master Chu suddenly said at the dinner table with a serious face, "Xiao Yao, you were lazy and didn't move the big vat back today, as a lesson you deducted two copper coins from your wages this month, don't do that again next time. "

She found it inconceivable, "Didn't the young master let me learn to figure out other people's minds?"

"Yes," the other party nodded seriously, "I really thought it would be better to put it back."

Xiao Yao didn't say anything anymore, and after eating sullenly, she moved those big vats back to their original positions.

Although Ah Yi raised her eyebrows afterwards and Yue'er scolded, the two copper coins were saved, but such things still happened one after another, which caused her a lot of headaches.

"Xiao Yao, can you do me a favor and move the books in the study to the guest room? I think the guest room is more suitable for a study."

This will be the beginning of August, and the autumn wind is blowing. It is a beautiful day with high autumn air, and I didn't expect that annoying things will come again.Xiao Yao pursed her mouth tightly and didn't look at the person who made the sound, she just replied: "No time." Then she concentrated on chopping the firewood in her hand.

"Xiao Yao, wages will be deducted..."

"My wages are always paid by Ah Yi." Xiao Yao interrupted before he finished speaking.

Having stayed in the Chu Mansion for nearly a year, Xiao Yao has already figured out the way.No matter Ah Yi, Wu Ma, or even Xiao Yue'er are workers in this place, except for this young master, it will only add to the chaos, and I don't know why the people in the house are so accommodating to him.

The request was ignored, and the man had no choice but to leave angrily.Looking at his leaving back, Xiao Yao suddenly felt happy at this moment.

After chopping firewood and returning to the house, Yue'er obediently handed her a towel and tea, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiao, is the young master causing trouble for you again?"

"Well, but I didn't find it." Xiao Yao took the towel and wiped her face, and sat beside her with tea.

Yue'er saw that she didn't show any disgust, so she continued to mutter with confidence: "That's good, although the young master is usually a bit out of tune, he is really a very good and powerful person. Sister, don't think he is annoying, in fact, he People will bully whoever they like, and the more they like, the more they bully, so my sister and master like you!"

"Cough," Xiao Yao immediately choked on her tea and looked at Yue'er in disbelief, but seeing that there was no abnormal expression on Yue'er's face, she still said excitedly: "I used to count Ah Yi in the mansion. The elder brother was bullied the worst by the young master, but Brother Ah Yi never said anything. Brother Ah Yi would do what the young master said. Later I came, and I was bullied by the young master for a year or two, but gradually the young master Turned back and bullied brother Ah Yi again, until now my sister appeared."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Yao immediately felt relieved. It seemed that the liking in the little girl's mouth was different from what she understood, so she blurted out: "Then he bullied Mama Wu?"

For a moment Yue'er looked at her in surprise, "The young master never bullies the old man..."

Xiao Yao nodded to express her understanding, and after putting down the teacup, she crossed her legs.Seeing this, Yue'er immediately smiled and said, "Is my sister going to start practicing again? Then Yue'er won't bother my sister."

After finishing speaking, after Xiao Yao touched her apple face affectionately, she jumped out of the room.After watching the little figure leave, she concentrated her energy and started the boring and useless meditation week again.

Every day since this year, Xiao Yao has never stopped practicing the exercises. Even if the results are disappointing every time, she still clenches her teeth and persists. No one knows whether she will be able to succeed one day. , Returning to the world of cultivating immortals again.At that time, whether it is Xiao Yuhe or others, she will definitely make them suffer the same ridicule and humiliation, to make up for the suffering she has endured these days.

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly constricted, and the resentment that had nowhere to release made her unable to help tightening and tightening her already whitened joints, and her whole body became impetuous.

"What kind of exercises are you practicing? Why do you have such a resentful face?"

She followed the sound and found that the door had been opened at some point, and the person standing at the door was looking at her with a half-smile.

"Master, remember to knock on the door before entering." She said indifferently.

"I knocked, but no one paid any attention to me. Yue'er said that lunch is ready, let me come and call you." The other party spread his hands innocently and winked at her.

"I see."

Xiao Yao stood up, closed the door after going out, walked towards the dining hall alone without looking at the person at the door.

But the person who followed unhurriedly didn't seem to intend to let her go, "Xiao Yao, you meditate and practice every day, and now you have resentment in your heart, but you once had a grudge, and hope to get revenge someday?"

She was feeling irritable at this time, and she replied with a little resentment without looking back, "So what?"

It is not a secret at all in the mansion that I meditate and practice every day.From the first time the other party said that monks don't need to eat, she knew that he also knew something about the world of cultivating immortals.I have already been broken, and I never worry about whether someone will harm me.

"The hatred of killing one's father and one's mother is different?" The other party's questioning voice sounded again.

"No!" Why is this person so annoying?

"Oh..., this is like being humiliated, so I feel resentful."

Hearing the other party's words so firmly in an instant, Xiao Yao's heart skipped a beat, it hit the sore spot, and when she was about to get angry, she heard the voice say,
"If it was just a humiliation, why would Xiao Yao blame and hate others so much? Could it be that she was complaining about her misfortune, so she pushed the cause of her misfortune to others, hoping to alleviate her frustration and deceive herself : Without them, I wouldn't have ended up like this?"

"But Xiao Yao, haven't you ever thought that maybe your misfortune only comes from yourself and has nothing to do with others?"

She only had time to see the corners of his slightly raised lips, with a trace of sly eyes, and her face turned pale instantly.These words pierced her chest fiercely like a sharp knife, completely dissecting the truth that she didn't want to see before her eyes, so sharp, there was nowhere to hide.

"I didn't!" She retorted without confidence.

He kept silent, just looked at her quietly, especially his pair of dark and bottomless eyes, which could see almost everything, so she couldn't help being afraid, she dodged slightly, and fled in a hurry.

So she couldn't hear the man talking to himself in the back, "No, this time seems to be a bit over..."
