Mecha Star Wars

Mu Jingjing still couldn't feel at ease in the end.

On the broken wooden door of that house, there were two scribbled Chinese characters "囍" (happiness) - Erya was getting married.

The village chief who came hurriedly told them that it had been several days. The new son-in-law's family lived far away and had not been hit by disasters. It was said that they still had a big brick and tile house. Erya used to be a concubine and could not endure hardship.

The wrinkles on the village chief's face were wrinkled with smile, as if he sincerely thought it was a great thing for a girl of twelve or thirteen to marry a widower who owned a tiled house.

In the ancient world, it was normal for girls to get engaged and married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and this was also the case on Lanxing hundreds of years ago.

Although Lin Fan found it difficult to agree in her heart, her ideas would not affect the operation of this world, and she did not have the ability to change the conventions of a world that had been established for thousands of years in a short period of time.

She looked at Mu Jingjing.

This indigenous senior sister seemed to find it even harder to accept than she did.

"Has Erya been engaged?" Du Xingyu asked the village chief, "Then why did you send Erya to the river god? Didn't you realize that you were giving the river god a green hat?"

Engagement also requires formal ceremony. Although an engaged woman has not yet married, she is considered a member of the man's family in folk customs.

“No, no, no.” The village chief was so scared that he kept shaking his head. “How dare we do such a thing? Not to mention the river gods, ordinary people can’t do that. We are honest people!”

Everyone looked at their duty, but could watch an innocent girl drown, and the village chief, who was seeking welfare for himself, sighed inwardly at the stupidity of the world.

"As for this marriage," the village chief did not dare to hide it from the immortals, but he also knew that it was bad to talk about people behind their backs, so he whispered, "It was just decided. Otherwise, if it had not happened before, her husband's family would not have suffered any disaster, not to mention marrying the girl off early, there would be one less mouth to feed. If you are a bit thick-skinned, the whole family would have to go to the son-in-law's house to make a living."

"I didn't realize this family cares so much about Erya." Du Xingyu continued to put his arm around the village chief's shoulder and ask questions.

The village chief saw Da Zhuang's mother coming out of the kitchen. When she saw them passing by the yard, she stumbled and hurried into the house.

Then, the wooden door was locked tightly, and it seemed that something was used to push it. It looked like he was extremely scared.

He was afraid too! The village chief burst into tears inwardly, the arm pressing on his shoulders seemed to be crushing him. There was no need to think at all, just sell all the people.

"Where?" The village chief said with a sad face, "They are afraid that if they leave her at home, she will be hard to use, and if she is in trouble, the immortals will come looking for her... They might as well marry her off. If anything happens to her in the future, it will have nothing to do with them."

What a great way to transfer responsibilities. I have to say, it is really... effective.

"Junior sister," Du Xingyu finally let go of the trembling village chief, "What should we say now? Teach this family a lesson? Ask where Erya is, and then we can go take another look? Anyway, we are not in a hurry now, right, senior brother?"

Shen Xiuyuan nodded.

Mu Jingjing stood there for a long time, clenching his fists tightly, but finally loosened them.

"No." She shook her head. "No matter what state Arya is in now, it will not be what I want. The so-called taking a look and feeling relieved is just my self-deception. I should learn from Junior Sister Lin's laissez-faire approach and try to let go of the desire to help others. As for them..."

Mu Jingjing glanced at the village chief and said, "They will get what they deserve."

This family was not well-received in the village. With Erya, who was rescued by the immortal and supported by her, the shrewd village chief and villagers dared not give face to the immortal, so they would naturally be polite to them. After all, no one knew when those elusive immortals would come back.

But now, Erya has been sent away, the immortals are not prepared, the village chief knows their attitude, and the ending of this family is foreseeable.

"Well said!" Du Xingyu clapped his hands in a respectful manner, "Junior sister, you have grown up!"

Mu Jingjing looked at Du Xingyu like this, and suddenly felt that it was wrong for her to be so rude to him before.

With the village chief looking on with tears in his eyes, the group finally left the village.

"Where are we going next?" Jin Tong, feeling dizzy from the sun, asked. "Aren't we going back to the office and using the teleportation array?"

"As for training, of course you need to walk more, see more, and learn more." Du Xingyu's whole body seemed to be broken, and he walked in the front without any proper posture. "It's so boring to walk through the teleportation array. A thousand miles away is just a stone's throw away, and you're there in a flash. Do you know how many opportunities you will miss?"

Jin Tong pouted: "We can't just keep walking like this. Can't we take a carriage if there's no teleportation array? I'm not afraid of getting tired myself, I'm worried about Senior Sisters Lin and Mu getting tired."

But because Jin Tong had not yet reached the stage of Qi training, they could not walk fast. They could only move forward step by step, like they were doing now.

Lin Fan, as the person with the highest cultivation level, will not get tired, and Mu Jingjing, who is a physical cultivator, will not get tired either.

Everyone knew that Jin Tong's explanation was only intended to cover up the truth. She would only feel tired if she didn't practice Qigong.

"Let's go to the next town," Shen Xiuyuan still looked like a smiling good old man, "I'll see if there is a carriage and rent one. It's really not a good idea for so many of us to walk alone! Now, there is no village in front and no shop behind, so I can only ask my sisters to work harder."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Jin Tong was immediately happy. Her legs were really getting heavier and heavier, and her feet were getting more and more painful.

"Hey, Jintong." Du Xingyu turned around and asked, "What's your current progress in cultivation? Have you encountered any difficulties? If you encounter any problems, please tell me. There are so many brothers and sisters here."

He really wants Jintong to improve!

I don't expect her to be very powerful, but I hope that if she encounters any emergency danger again, at least she can run away, right? She won't be nailed to the spot like a stupid wooden stake, and they need to divert their attention to rescue her.

At worst, we can still travel faster when we are in a hurry like now. After all, horse carriages are not available in all places.

Thinking back to when they didn’t bring Jintong with them, they rushed all the way through the swamp. It was so exciting… It’s probably hard to experience that again in a short time.

"I, I..." Cultivation is Jin Tong's sore spot. When she mentioned it, it was like pricking a needle into her body. Her face turned red. "I don't know either. But when Senior Sister Lin broke through last time, I also benefited from it. I feel like I have the loose feeling that Senior Brother and Sister talked about."

Jin Tong was afraid that someone would suddenly check her cultivation, although she couldn't stop them. But after she determined that her physique was different, she was particularly concerned about such contact. Fortunately, no one mentioned it.

She didn't even think about it. In her current situation, why would anyone check her cultivation? It would just be a pure waste of spiritual energy!

"Oh? That's going to be soon." Shen Xiuyuan smiled. "Junior Sister Lin, you should also be careful when practicing. If you feel that your cultivation is weakening, you must tell me in advance to leave enough time for preparation."

"Got it." Lin Fan nodded.

"Yes, yes!" Du Xingyu also remembered that if Lin Fan loosened up again, he would have to go through the Golden Core Tribulation, and he would be struck by lightning. "Especially in crowded places, Junior Sister, you must be patient and find an open and deserted place to break through. Don't do it again like this time. If I hadn't acted quickly, the ancestral hall would have collapsed."

"I'll remember that." Lin Fan said to Du Xingyu, "Thank you, Senior Brother Du."

"Hey! We're brothers and sisters, no need to be polite!" Du Xingyu turned around with a smile, whistled, and jumped up his feet.

As they walked along, Shen Xiuyuan saw some medicinal plants on the road and did not forget to educate everyone about them. What is poisonous and what has medicinal effects, these inconspicuous green plants can be the key to saving lives in critical moments.

After walking for a while, just when Jin Tong felt that his legs were going to break, he finally saw the tall, blue-gray city gate.
