Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

In addition, the main business of Sanquan Market is winemaking. If you don't tell the vendors in advance when buying fruits and vegetables, you will only buy some that are not fresh.

......

Chu Wuji came to a small shop, put down a few pieces of silver, exchanged a few words with the shop assistant, and said:

"The day after tomorrow, I want a whole wooden cart full of fruits and vegetables. This is the deposit."

The locals may not know all the new faces in the town, but the vendors who serve regular customers can recognize the new customers.

On the first day Chu Wuzhi entered Sanquan Market, he dragged a wild boar to the restaurant to sell it. Judging from his clothes and appearance, he looked like a young man from a well-off family, but this hunter was very skilled in his business.

Many people were curious about his identity and background, but no one asked in detail, as they were still not familiar with him.

Seeing him buy so many fruits at once, the waiter said, "Sir, it would be a waste if you can't finish them."

Chu Wuji shook his head: "It's not for me to eat, but for offering sacrifices to my family."

The waiter suddenly realized and kindly suggested: "Then you can buy these not-so-fresh fruits and vegetables. They are much cheaper and can save you half a jar of wine!"

If Chu Wuzhi insisted on buying fresh ones, the shop would definitely make more money, but he still kindly gave the customer some money-saving advice and did not overcharge him just because he was unfamiliar with the food.

The business atmosphere in this small town is indeed very indifferent, and people don't care much about gains and losses in terms of money.

Chu Wuji thanked him with a smile and declined politely:

"A very dear elder of mine is buried here. It's a rare opportunity for me to come here, so I'll try to be considerate. Besides, my wild boar sold for quite a bit of money, so I'll spend all the money I earned in town here."

The clerk said nothing more. After accepting the money, he asked Chu Wuji about the time to pick up the goods. When he waved goodbye, he said warmly:

"Sir, before you leave, you can stop by Fox Spring Tavern and try the wine there. It's the oldest tavern in this area! It's said that a long time ago, a fox fairy drank there, hence the name 'Fox Fairy Wine'."

"Row."

......

On the way back to the inn, Chu Wuzhi ordered some fried meat, ate it briefly, and then went back to his room to rest.

Without any relatives or friends around, he really had no intention of using the kitchen to cook, so he just had a perfunctory meal.

Lying on the wooden bed, he immediately began to think about spiritual practice. If he didn't give his mind something to think about, the image of his godmother and the tenderness of his aunt would easily emerge in his mind.

"It seems that Miss Yun Qingying is studying under the Divine Heaven Sect. I can go and visit her. They are a powerful force of the righteous sect. I can find out what happened to the female ghost."

"It's not far from Lihuo Capital, so it's convenient for visiting Yao'er."

The image of Queen Wen's tolerant, plump and delicate body reappeared in Chu Wuji's mind.

A few days after leaving Lihuo Capital, he felt a little sorry for Queen Wen.

At that time, he misinterpreted Empress Wen's intentions, thinking that she wanted to use her godmother to threaten him, and he acted recklessly in anger... He still had to go back and apologize in person.

If I try my luck at the Shenxiao Sect, I think I'll meet a lot of familiar faces.

But the disadvantages are also great. You can't contact the immortal sects on the mountain just by wanting to. Even the Yun family, a thousand-year-old family, spent a lot of effort to send their daughter up there.

"Recruiting the Lord of White Tiger Mountain is also a good option. Since I saved the little white tiger, the Lord of White Tiger Mountain should give me some favor and give me some guidance."

"And my aunt said that the cultivation methods of the demon race are not suitable for humans, but the White Tiger Mountain Monarch is not a demon, he is an auspicious beast!"

In many stories, the white tiger is a symbol of good fortune and auspiciousness, that is:

Fury!

"These are the only two paths I can think of right now. More on that depends entirely on my good fortune and luck, and whether it can bring me some new opportunities."

Based on Chu Wuji's understanding of his own luck, it would be better to try both paths, otherwise he would always choose the worst one.

"After offering sacrifices to my godmother on the seventh day, I'll try to find Baihushanjun first, and then try my luck with the Shenxiao Sect. After all, I'm not particularly familiar with the Shenxiao Sect or Yun Qingying, so they have no reason to help me!"

*

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chu Wuji went to the fruit and vegetable stall to pick up the goods and pay the bill. He found that the shop assistant had even put expiring fruits and vegetables on Chu Wuji's cart.

The shop assistant explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not just filling in the gaps. These expiring fruits are extra gifts. You're offering sacrifices to your loved ones, and if you want to make it more grand, bring more offerings. Otherwise, these expiring fruits will just rot!"

Chu Wuji had never expected that the people in this small town in the mountains would be so simple and kind. He said worriedly:

"Then you're at a loss, aren't you? I spent all my remaining money on alcohol, so I don't have any extra money left."

The shop assistant waved his hand generously:

"Sir, the Fox Spring Tavern where you ordered the wine is my family's property. I don't need this little money. I just want to have some fun and find something to do!"

He also delivered the four jars of Fox Fairy Wine that Chu Wuji had ordered, so he didn't have to make another trip.

"..."

Chu Wuji was suddenly speechless. He had thought that the people here were simple and honest and did not care about gains and losses. It turned out that they were rich and looked down upon such a small amount of money.

He didn't say much, after all it was the other person's kindness.

Chu Wuji put all the fox fairy wine on a wooden cart, and surrounded by the fragrance of fruit, he pushed the cart slowly into the mountains.

Soon, a barefoot female Taoist priest sitting on a cloud arrived in Sanquan Town.

The woman was too lazy to move, so she sat on the cloud and flew to the fruit shop, asking:

"The wine I recently opened must have been brewed a hundred years ago. How's the quality? If it's good, give me a gourd to taste the saltiness!"

The shop assistant saluted respectfully and replied:

"Sister Winemaker, the aroma of this Fox Fairy Wine is extremely rich and powerful, with a lingering sweetness. I guess it's because the fruits used to make it were juicy and sweet. I just sold four jars!"

"Who is so lucky? I haven't even tasted the first bottle of wine, but he tasted it first!" Taoist Jiuwu was unhappy and wanted to catch up with him and secretly taste all the wine that man bought.

"A young man from outside, dressed in a sharp black warrior robe with blue and white snakes tattooed on the sleeves. He was handsome and came here to pay respects to his family. He was incredibly strong. He dragged a wild boar the size of a buffalo into Sanquan Market with one hand."

"Is it Ye Xiu?"

"No, he has no magical powers. I saw through him at first sight. He has pure innate divine power!"

The woman with white and rosy feet was holding a gourd the size of a palm, but it seemed that it could never be filled with wine, and it took five large jars to fill it up.

Jiuwu Taoist nodded in satisfaction and prepared to leave with his wine gourd:

"I've been busy helping Xianzhi find out about snake monsters lately. If you hear any news about powerful snake monsters, remember to report it back to the sect. You'll be rewarded with a small merit!"

Chapter 65: Aunt: Sister, I didn’t bully him

The green snake returned to the place of retreat for herself and her sister, which was where the two sisters originally practiced.

After successfully transforming, they left this place, experienced the rise and fall of the White Snake Temple, and finally returned here.

The green snake, feeling a little guilty, came to the white snake and greeted:

"Sister, haven't you rebuilt your body yet?"

The White Snake and the Green Snake have been together for many years, and the more than ten years they have been apart is not even a fraction of the time they spent practicing together.

The White Snake noticed that the Green Snake was a little unnatural, but she thought that it was probably her sister who bullied Chu Wuzhi, and she was worried that she would blame her, so she avoided his gaze.

how to say,

Baishe knew that her sister was very wary of humans, and later turned hostile. She really couldn't expect her to take too much care of Chu Wuji, as long as she didn't bully him too much.

"How can a body be rebuilt so quickly? Xiaoqing, how are you doing with the task I entrusted to you? Is Wuji okay?"

The Green Snake's character is straightforward and impulsive, and it cannot hide things at all, and its flaws are even greater when it lies.

When asked this by her sister, the White Snake, the Green Snake avoided her gaze and turned away, not daring to let her sister see her expression.

White Snake became worried and asked hurriedly, "What does your expression mean? Is the child having a bad life?"

Green Snake didn't dare remain silent any longer and quickly explained: "No, no, he's fine now..."

The white snake didn't quite believe it. It flicked its tongue and hit the sister on the head. It asked seriously, "Tell me quickly!"

The green snake then told what had happened, but the matter of transferring the luck must be kept secret.

She felt that this matter could be discussed or not. After all, it was her sister who voluntarily gave up the body of merit, so it was understandable for her, the Green Snake, to help the family reduce the losses.

Don't let the rich water flow to outsiders' fields.

Back then, she also helped out at the White Snake Temple, but she never took any incense offerings. Now it was reasonable for her to help her sister with some of the money, just as her wages.

"...That's roughly what happened. I felt guilty just now because I hit him too hard at the beginning and injured him with my tail, but--"

When Green Snake saw her sister was about to hit her, she hurriedly drew out a long note to emphasize the turning point, but unfortunately she was still hit on the head.

"But when I left, I had already healed the child, mended his clothes, and cooked a large pond of fish soup. After comforting him, I buried my sister's virtuous body and watched the child leave. Only then did I come back to find you!"

"I also hung my sister's jade pendant on his belt to prevent some unruly guys from looking for him."

Baishe was very suspicious of what her sister said, but she could tell that she was not lying.

Green snakes are straightforward in nature. If they feel they are right when speaking, their confidence will be different. If they lie, their momentum will be much weaker.

However, when Qingshe went there, she looked reluctant and resentful. How could she suddenly change so drastically?

The White Snake was still struggling with the mystery of this, while the Green Snake began to question her sister:

"Sister, are you really planning to let that child go? If you like that child, I... don't mind him living with us."

The white snake shook its head and said with mixed feelings:

"If he really wants to come back to me, then of course he's welcome. I'm giving him the opportunity to choose, not really insisting on sending him back to the human race."

Baishe didn't dare to say that she understood people's hearts, but judging from her experience, many people don't know what they like until they actually come into contact with certain things.

The same is true for Chu Wuji. He is too filial and will definitely not leave his godmother Bai Sujin easily.

With little exposure and experience, you naturally don’t know what you really want.

Only after getting rid of Bai Sujin's influence and taking the initiative to contact others can he truly understand his inner tendencies.

Bai Sujin doesn't want filial piety to become a burden to Chu Wuji one day in the future, forcing him to yearn for the outside world while having to stay with his godmother in pain and contradiction in order to repay the grace of adoption.

And life span is also a big problem.

A hundred years of time is just a blink of an eye, not even as long as the age of some fine wine. Chu Wuji stayed with his godmother and had no access to other ways of cultivation.

He insisted on learning the cultivation of the two snake demons. He might have just gotten a glimpse of the key when his end was approaching.

Green Snake heard her sister's thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had not misunderstood her meaning.

No matter what, she would go and bring Chu Wuzhi back half a year later.

The white snake suddenly asked seriously, "Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you? Why has your attitude towards Wuji changed so much?"

The green snake was unable to dodge and confessed part of the "evidence" tentatively, saying:

"Ahem, that kid solved a puzzle for me. I've been struggling with one thing: was the subsequent trouble at the White Snake Temple caused by me? Did I make a big deal out of a small matter?"

After hearing everything, Baishe suddenly realized that she had felt before that her sister Xiaoqing was hiding something and was afraid to say it.

Unexpectedly, she, as an aunt, became the one being taken care of after visiting Chu Wuzhi.

No wonder Green Snake changed her attitude towards the child, there turns out to be such a story behind it!

The White Snake recalled the days when she traveled with Chu Wuji in the past. Wasn't he the one who soothed many of her wounds?

"Although Wuji's fate is not good, he is a very intelligent child!"

The green snake nodded and agreed, "His wisdom... is quite impressive. I am very satisfied!"

*

In the mountains, Chu Wuzhi pushed the cart and walked slowly into the mountains.

I walk slowly, not because I am not in a hurry, but because I can't be in a hurry.

The mountain road is rugged. If you stumble and the fruits and vegetables on the cart fall off, you have to stop to pick them up, which actually wastes more time.

The more anxious you are to go faster, sometimes the slower you will go.

"It's right to leave two days early. At this speed, we should be able to walk back just in time for the 'first seven days' holiday. Reasonable!"

Chu Wuji grabbed a melon, crushed it with one hand, and ate it in small pieces to quench his thirst.

He wanted to eat heartily, but was afraid of getting his clothes dirty.

After walking for a whole day, Chu Wuzhi found that he didn't know the way. Because he left at night, he couldn't remember the route and there were no reference points around.
